And to bring some music into this: Give a listen to "Beercans On The Moon," by Ed Sanders, "I Saw It On TV" by John Fogerty, and John Stewart's "Armstrong" ("I wonder if a long time ago, somewhere in the universe, they watched a man named Adam walk upon the earth"). I guess I believe it really happened because the Russians would have been only too happy to prove it didn't happen, and must have tracked the flight from the get-go.
